This view is of La Carihuela in the early Sixties when Frank Sinatra and other Stars were staying at the 1st Hotel in Torremolinos, "La Pez Espada" overlooking the Mediterranean.

Well I found this draft and decided it should be seen. Now that it is 2025 and September again. The photograph was taken at one of Marion's famous get together parties. We always enjoyed them.

Anyone interested in the visits to Theatre Cervantes, either for the River Dancers of Argentina or Monica Naranjo´s spectacular show?.

ROMERIA

Well I am still a little disoriented from the day of total abandon! 

Many visitors were watching the Romeria procession slowly making it's way through Torremolinos. Lots of flower decorated carts pulled by gaily festooned oxen, and tractors. Matching pairs of horses pulling their traditionally dressed families in carriages and many horses riders.

 ROMERIA BBQ IN THE PINES

First the party then up to the pines to picnic, and then the feria ground casetas where the local clubs put on entertainment and food, and the horse riders gather. Everyone dancing Sevillanas even the little ones. Back to town in the Plaza Andalucia dancing rock and roll and having lots of fun.Thanks to all our friends for a wonderful day out.

Next Meeting Friday at El Albanico
